A computer implemented method comprises receiving a request to provision a container as a software container on a current node of the cluster. The method further comprises accessing a performance information data store (PIDS) to obtain a record associated with the container that includes benchmarked performance metrics including container-required resources associated with a benchmark-specified node of the container. The method further comprises accessing the PIDS to obtain a record associated with the current node of the cluster that includes current-node performance metrics associated with the current node. The method further comprises comparing the benchmarked performance metrics with the current node performance metrics to determine that a difference exists, and conditioned upon the difference existing adjusting, with a resource adjustment calculator, the container-required resources based on the determination of how much of a difference exists. The method then provisions the container on the current node with adjusted container-required resources.

Optimizing CPU requests and limits for a pod based on benchmarked hardware

Service assurance is provided. A low priority pod corresponding to a low priority service in an orchestration platform that is to be evicted due to a predicted peak load period of a high priority service is identified based on analysis of historical and resource information. The low priority service corresponding to the low priority pod that is to be evicted due to the predicted peak load period of the high priority service is marked as an assured service for a guaranteed run in response to receiving an input from a user who was notified regarding eviction of the low priority pod. The low priority pod corresponding to the low priority service that is to be evicted due to the predicted peak load period of the high priority service is provisioned on a second host node prior to the eviction of the low priority pod from a first host node.
